| CH. XII. 1-59. | |
| In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. | |
| 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. | |
| 3 Therefore, whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness, shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops. | |
| 4 And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that, have no more that they can do. | |
| 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear; Fear him, which, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. | |
| 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? | |
| 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. | |
| 8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God. | |
| 9 But he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God. | |
| 10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven. | |
| 11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: | |
| 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. | |
| 13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. | |
| 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge, or a divider over you? | |
| 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. | |
| 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: | |
| 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? | |
| 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. | |
| 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. | |
| 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? | |
| 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. | |
| 22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. | |
| 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. | |
| 24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them. How much more are ye better than the fowls? | |
| 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? | |
| 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? | |
| 27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. | |
| 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? | |
| 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. | |
| 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. | |
| 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. | |
| 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. | |
| 33 Sell that ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. | |
| 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. | |
| 35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; | |
| 36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. | |
| 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily, I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. | |
| 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. | |
| 39 And this know, that if the good man of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. | |
| 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. | |
| 41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? | |
| 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? | |
| 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. | |
| 44 Of a truth I say unto you, That he will make him ruler over all that he hath. | |
| 45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the men-servants, and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; | |
| 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. | |
| 47 And that servant which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. | |
| 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. | |
| 49 I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it be already kindled? | |
| 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! | |
| 51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: | |
| 52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. | |
| 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. | |
| 54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west,159 straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. | |
| 55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. | |
| 56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it, that ye do not discern this time? | |
| 57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? | |
| 58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. | |
| 59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIII. 1-9. | |
| There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. | |
| 2 And Jesus answering, said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? | |
| 3 I tell you, Nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. | |
| 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? | |
| 5 I tell you, Nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. | |
| 6 He spake also this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. | |
| 7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? | |
| 8 And he answering, said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: | |
| 9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XIII. 1-23. | CH. IV. 1-25. |
| The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea-side. | And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land. |
| 2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. | |
| 3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; | 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, |
| 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow. | |
| 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: | 4 And it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. |
| 5 Some fell upon stony places where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: | 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: |
| 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. | 6 But when the sun was up it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. |
| 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: | 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. |
| 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold. | 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up, and increased, and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred. |
| 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. | 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
| 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? | 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked of him the parable. |
| 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. | 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: |
| 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. | 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. |
| 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing, see not; and hearing, they hear not; neither do they understand. | |
| 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias,160 which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: | |
| 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. | |
| 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. | |
| 17 For, verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. | |
| 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. | 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? |
| 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way-side. | 14 The sower soweth the word. |
| 15 And these are they by the way-side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. | |
| 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; | 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; |
| 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. | 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. |
| 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. | 18 and these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, |
| 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. | |
| 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty. | 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some sixty, and some a hundred. |
| 21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? | |
| 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. | |
| 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. | |
| 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. | |
| 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. VIII. 4-18. | |
| 4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: | |
| 5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way-side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. | |
| 6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. | |
| 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. | |
| 8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit a hundred-fold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. | |
| 9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? | |
| 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. | |
| 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. | |
| 12 Those by the way-side, are they that hear: then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. | |
| 13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in times of temptation fall away. | |
| 14 And that which fell among thorns, are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares, and riches, and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. | |
| 15 But that on the good ground are they, which, in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. | |
| 16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. | |
| 17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known, and come abroad. | |
| 18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XIII. 24-53. | CH. IV. 26-34. |
| 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: | |
| 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. | |
| 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. | |
| 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? | |
| 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servant said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? | 26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; |
| 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. | 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. |
| 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. | 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. |
| 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. | |
| 31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: | 30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? |
| 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. | 31 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which when it is sown in the earth, in less than all the seeds that be in the earth: |
| 33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. | 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. |
| 34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: | 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. |
| 35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,161 saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. | 34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. |
| 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. | |
| 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; | |
| 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; | |
| 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. | |
| 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. | |
| 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; | |
| 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. | |
| 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. | |
| 44 Again, The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. | |
| 45 Again, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant-man seeking goodly pearls: | |
| 46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. | |
| 47 Again, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: | |
| 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. | |
| 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, | |
| 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. | |
| 51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. | |
| 52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. | |
| 53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. VIII. 18-27. | CH. IV. 35-41. |
| 18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. | And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. |
| 19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. | |
| 20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. | |
| 21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. | |
| 22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. | |
| 23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. | 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. |
| 24 And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. | 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. |
| 25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. | 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? |
| 26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. | 39 And he arose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still: and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. |
| 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is that ye have no faith? | |
| 27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! | 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? |
| Luke. | |
| CH. VIII. 22-25. | |
| CH. IX. 57-62. | |
| 22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. | |
| CH. IX. | |
| 57 And it came to pass, that as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. | |
| 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. | |
| 59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. | |
| 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. | |
| 61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell which are at home at my house. | |
| 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. | |
| CH. VIII. | |
| 22 And they launched forth. | |
| 23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. | |
| 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. | |
| 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid, wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. VIII. 28-34. | CH. V. 1-21. |
| CH. IX. 1. | |
| 28 And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gegesenes,162 there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. | And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. |
| 2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, | |
| 3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with his chains: | |
| 4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. | |
| 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. | |
| 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, | |
| 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. | |
| 8 (For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.) | |
| 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? | 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. |
| 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. | |
| 30 And there was a good way off163 from them a herd of many swine, feeding. | 11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine164 feeding. |
| 31 So the devils besought him, saying If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. | 12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. |
| 32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. | 13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea. |
| 33 And they that kept them, fled, and went their ways into the city, and told everything; and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. | 14 And they that fed the swine fled and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. |
| 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. | 15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. |
| 16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. | |
| 17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. | |

| And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. | 18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. |
| 19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. | |
| 20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him. And all men did marvel. | |
| 21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea. |

| CH. VIII. 26-40. | |
| 26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. | |
| 27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. | |
| 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee torment me not. | |
| 29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains, and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) | |
| 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. | |
| 31 And they besought him, that he would not command them to go out into the deep. | |
| 32 And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. | |
| 33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. | |
| 34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. | |
| 35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus,165 clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. | |
| 36 They also which saw it, told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. | |
| 37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about, besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he went up into the ship, and returned back again. | |
| 38 Now, the man out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, | |
| 39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way and published throughout the whole city, how great things Jesus had done unto him. | |
| 40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. |
